The Roberts Community Health Scholarship evolved from GNI's Nursing leadership Scholarship that was established in the summer of 2011. This new format was designed in loving memory of long time supporter and friend Kimberly Roberts, ACNP.

The focus of this scholarship is to; support promising nursing students with brilliant cost-effective ideas on how to aid the health of their communities. This scholarship is focused on fostering student-led community health projects and financially supporting them through seed grants for their projects and a full-year's tuition towards their nursing education.

Three students from the Fort Portal International Nursing School became the GNI's first awardees of this new scholarship project in May, 2013. The three award winners were second year nursing students; Bwambale J. Bosco, Masika Mirika, and Murungi Nason.

​2017 Roberts Scholars

We are excited to introduce the two new Roberts Scholars for the up coming 2017 year! Agnes Kajote is an aspiring midwife, she hopes to be able to bring her new knowledge home. Her community education project is focused on bringing much needed education on post-natal infections to the local community. Our other Roberts Scholar is Andrew Tumwikirize, a general nursing major who was inspired to go into nursing by his local health centre III in Mpeefu. His community health project is focused on raising awareness of Hepatitis. He feels there is alot of education for HIV, but communities have little knowledge Hepatitis can be a big problem as well. We would like to wish our students the best of luck as they move forward both in school and in their work within thier communities!!
